What Color Is Breast Cancer?

The colors were showing up as Facebook status updates. Turns out women were supposed to put only the color of the bra you were wearing at that moment. And somehow this meme was supposed to be connected to breast cancer awareness.

I sat there looking at my status box--struck, and stuck--not sure if I should play the game or spoil the party.

What color is cancer? What do you say if you don't wear a bra anymore because you don't have breasts?

Here's my theory--someone somewhere started this as a game--fun, flirtatious, frivolous. Someone else along the way felt it needed some substance, added her own spin--and clicked on a light of awareness.
